Reading their GDC talk about engine optimization for Gears 5, they really spent most of their engineering budget to get those 60fps on most versions of the game. They reused tons of tools and shaders from Gears 4. Respawn started from literally zero on this engine, so it's still quite impressive they reached this level of quality vs. performances.
Double jump works pretty well or Force Push them to interrupt him.
I think they did a great job...but I don't think expecting/wanting it, at least on "X" for it to run smooth at 1440p. Coalition had a lot more experience plus they used a lot of stuff from Gears 4 as you mentioned, but with the horse power of the "X" even with it having that shitty CPU, at minimum it should be running smooth at 1440p. Hopefully Respawn can get the game smoother with some performance patches.
I just hate that you have to go fight like three minions before him. I couldn't scrape by without losing some health and getting peeved
E: you might need to quote me, I don't know how to spoiler on mobile.
Then just slow it down on the boss. Parrying is key. I screwed up the first time and got wrecked then slowed down my approach and was more reactive and it was so much easier.
Also if you
Good luck!

I could never get the timing right on them, it seems impossible
I'm actually impressed by the amount of convos they wrote for the game with your squadmates. Although, based on some of them, it seems like they had plans for the squadmates to doing things other than standing in an idle pose.

WHY DID THE GAME SPAWN THREE FUCKING FROGS?!!!
Edit:Ok so that was a genuine encounter. It's like "finally I can access this area." and the designers said, "let's put three of those frogs at this one spot."

Played on PS4 Pro with frame rate unlocked. Wonder if the bad framepacing and variable 30-50 fps made it more difficult than it should be
You can fight one, and then two, but three at once is fun!
Appreciate it. Had to do the latter and start up a new game and everything but I was able to select it. Wouldn't have thought to do that myself to be honest which is a lil annoying but just glad u can play again.
Lol I spent a long ass time in that one spot.
Funny thing is, I've returned there later in the game having all my abilities and still get my ass kicked there only not as much.
95% of my deaths in this game are to bullshit platforming fails. The combat has some jank to it, and the dark souls like aspects could have been done better, but still what I'm dying the most too is just random pit falls, bad jumps, floaty mechanics. The slide shit.... who play tested this crap and said this is fun, lets constantly use it in every level!
It literally takes 10 seconds for the enemies to load in lol (base PS4)
at least it gives me time to get behind them
T pose even after taking a dozen seconds to load lol.
I'm kinda happy I didn't get this on PS4 (Pro owner here). The PC version was relatively issue free outside of some random hitching.
finished this last night, awesome game, with some incredible moments. i would compare it to HZD where a team is trying something new and they succeed, but maybe borrowed "too" many ideas along the way. and that's totally undestandable, to get a solid product out in a reasonable amount of time. all in for a sequel that hopefully finds more of its own identity, bit more freedom, and less messy design language.
what difficulty are you playing on? i finished the game on normal and beat him first try. All i did was that one move that combos in and out of single and dual blade. i died more on the platforming than anything else in this game.
ah, I wonder if that's why I've been hating the combat. Frame rate based would definitely make sense.
Loving the game just not a fan of the bonfire system, specifically reviving dead enemies. I can buy it in a Souls because it's a weird ass fantasy but in Star Wars it don't make sense.
Normal lol then again I am playing with mouse and keyboard
I can't even imagine doing that on KB lol. I beat that part on Jedi Master but it took some leveling up. And an hour. But it was nothing compared to the misery of
Fighting Trilla.
If I wanted to use my PS4 controller, do I need a 3rd party app? I bought it through Steam.
Fantastic game overall. Starts of slow but as you gain more powers it just gets better and better.
Performance was terrible in parts (kashykk mainly) but overall manageable.
Loved the combat, especially once you have all the abilities .
Also really Loved that last level / ending.
Really hope we get some dlc , new game plus or some arenas.
Lets hope respawns gets to make more starwars.

TBH I'm not entirely sure, I played on PS4. I've always used my Xbox controller for PC games because I know I had trouble with DS4s in the past and had to use 3rd party software. I think you can use the DS4 directly now though with proper updates? Sorry I don't have better info :(.
Legit almost tapped out in frustration lol. Kept with it, and beat it last night. Worth it haha
Just enable the DS4 support in steam. Settings, Controller, General Controller Settijngs
but....... you don't die from falls.....unless you have a sliver of health.
I finally started this game and now I am at the 2nd fight with second sister. The first real fight with her.
And I just can't win. I'm not even playing on hard, I think I'm playing on the normal equivalent.
Everything up to now has gone okay but she is slaughtering me. Sudden steep difficulty jump.
I am bad at videogames I guess. I might have to switch to easy. I'll sleep on it.
As a sidenote the game is kind of janky but from reading a few pages it looks like that experience is not unique.

Maybe halfway through Dathomir? Keep kicking myself for forgetting to use the freeze/pull combo on enemies that was heavily featured in the demo footage.
Also, is anyone else having issues executing the precision evade and evasive kick? The former effect never seems to activate, and the latter always results in a saber swing rather than the kick.
Most other bits aren't that bad outside of the slides, but the traversal of the game is still shoddy in its execution.

Not the OP, but it's still incredibly annoying to continuously deal with. There's little consistent control to many of those sections, and it's an unnecessary frustration that could have used much more time in the oven to tighten up.

I finished it. Not bad but so many minor irritations with it. One of the things I hated most consistently was how rare it was to interrupt enemies (particularly bosses, who almost never could have their attacks interrupted) versus how anytime someone sneezed on you it cancelled whatever you were doing and put you into a recovery animation.
The final boss fight also had this really annoying thing where the shockwave attack looked almost indistinguishable from another attack, and even when you jumped 50% of the time it still hit you because it sort of came a few feet up off the ground as it went past you. Just the worst.
I did manage to dodge most of them. But it was slightly tricky.

Precision dodge was really hard to do yeah. I regret wasting skill points on it.
It still isn't your own damn business and I'm not doing anything wrong nor treating said poster poorly. On top of that I can't stand people like you telling others to put some more consideration or whatever that you deem acceptable, when it removes the impression, meaning and truth of what I do perceive
You can't handle being direct, that's on you
You are not a part of this conversation no matter how much you try justifying that intervention of your. I don't need luck either, honesty is just that : honest. I'm not insulting or belittling anybody

So just going to type it here as after I finished it last night I kept telling my wife but alas she doesn't really care about games. As a non star wars person after finally beating trilla having god damn vader appear out of no where making me feeling fucking helpless was really amazing. Nothing else to add really but yea that really was one of the best individual moments I've had in a game for a long old time.
I do wish they had gotten an extra 6 months to clean up some of the technical stuff but hopefully it's sold well enough for a sequel or DLC where I get to stare at merrin more
